Located on 175th Fifth Avenue, the Flatiron Building is a turn of the century landmark. Built in 1902, this defiant and bold structure is a favorite with many locals and tourists. Upon its completion in 1902, Flatiron Building was rated as one of the tallest building of New York.
There are twenty two floors that soar 285 feet into the sky. This architectural landmark was designed and constructed by architect Daniel Burnham, John Wellborn Root. The construction was financed by George A. Fuller, and the building was first named after him. The building stands on a triangular block named the Flatiron block. The building has an outstanding shape- similar to a clothes iron and is called Flatiron Building. Due to this building the neighborhood has acquired the name as Flatiron District.
The most photographed building of Manhattan is also a National Historic Landmark since 1989. Home to many offices, especially book publishers, the Flatiron building was also used in the in the Spider-Man movies as the Daily Bugle building.
